Whether you are a seasoned author or just starting out, author/audiobook narrator George Sirois will guide you through the process of deciding the best course of action for you.

George Sirois is the author of the international bestselling young adult / science-fiction novel Excelsior, its two sequels, and the five-part science-fiction / sports serial From Parts Unknown. In 2016, he officially became an audiobook narrator when he narrated the first Excelsior novel and has since lent his voice to over twenty books of varying genres. He served as President of the Missouri Writers Guild from 2017-2018 and is the host and producer of the podcasts Excelsior Journeys and From Duck Till Dark: Outside the Marvel Studios.

In March 2023, George adapted his novel Excelsior into a two-hour-long audio drama, which was performed live on the Clubhouse app with a full cast, a sound effects library, and a musical score. In 2025, he became an award-winning screenwriter with "Minus One Plus," which won Best Short Screenplay (Sci-Fi genre) at the Austin Revolution Film Festival.
